		+	* This scenario deals with the Peoples and Machines, Policies and Standards, and Privacy and Anonymity sects of Social & Ethical Issues. In this instance, people were interacting with, and using, computers (machines)in order to use Formspring and post whatever was said. Also, what was said on the Formspring went against the rules set by the company that runs Formspring (such as no bulling and others). People were also able to post whatever they wanted and do it anonymously.
		+	* This scenario deals with the Politics and Government, as well as, the Arts, Entertainment, & Leisure sects of the Areas of Impact. The company that runs Formspring had set rules and regulations that should have been followed when using the site, in this instance though these set rules were not followed and some very hurtful things were posted about some people. This applies to the Arts, Entertainment, & Leisure sect because people use Facebook/Formspring in their free (leisure) time and some people were actually entertained by what was posted on the site.
		+	* I personally feel that the idea of senior "what-ifs" is not such a bad one, if people come up with respectful things to say. The point of it was not to have hurtful things revealed or said about others, but more so to provide a place where people could either say nice things about others or in the worst case poke a little fun at their friends. It just so happened that people took it to a whole different level when they started commenting on people's personal lives and said things that are better kept to themselves.
		+	* In response to this scenario, it is hard to find a solution. The right thing to do would be find out who was saying what (which is difficult to do) and punish them accordingly. This would be tough to do because all comments were posted anonymously so figuring out who said what would be a challenge.
		+	* I feel like the Community Rules listed on the Formspring site are sensible and promote good behavior. People should be responsible for what they say and also should be respectful with what they post as well. Unfortunately, in this instance, people were not respectful with what they said and its had to hold people responsible when everything was done anonymously.

		+	* Artificial Intelligence -- the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it.
		+	* The major stakeholders that are invested in the success of the IBM Watson are the creators of the machine itself, IBM the company as a whole, Watson, and all those who interact with it, such as other Jeopardy contestants.
		+	* IBM Watson will change the lives of people around it as well as others. It contains the ability to retrieve knowledge from a vast pool. This amazing ability could have many uses in the real world other than competing in Jeopardy games. The machine lacks human ingenuity and instinct but has almost endless factual knowledge in a multitude of areas. Its creators will only continue to improve its abilities and it will become more and more like a living human being.

		+	* [Patent, Copyright, Trademark Definitions and Examples]
		+	* Patent -- the exclusive right granted by a government to an inventor to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a certain number of years. Example: When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he patented his invention so that no one else could still his idea without getting in serious legal trouble.
		+	* Copyright -- the exclusive right to make copies, license, and otherwise exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work, whether printed, audio, video, etc. Example: A band releases a song on their new album, their work can be copied and sold but only for their monetary benefit. A random person who buys their album may not resell for a profit.
		+	* Trademark -- any name, symbol, figure, letter, word, or mark adopted and used by a manufacturer or merchant in order to designate his or her goods and to distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others. Example: The "Nike check" allows producers and customers to differentiate between the two companies of Nike and Adidas.

		+	* [http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/06/scientists-overwhelmingly-believe-in-man-made-climate-change/1 Large Majority of Scientists Believe that Man-Made Climate Change is Real]
		+	* After 1,372 scientists were posed with questions regarding the climate change on Earth, 97% answered that the cause of this change is man-made. The 3% that did not agree with that were found to have lower levels of expertise, seemingly strengthening the argument that Earth's climate change IS man-made.
		+	* The stakeholder's in this issue are the scientists who were questioned, the people who analyzed the results found in this study, and the people around the world who are affected by the increasingly warmer climates on planet Earth.
		+	* This article deals with the reliability and intellectual property sects of Social & Ethical Issues. Reliability comes into play because some people could even be skeptical of those experts who believe that the change in climate is man-made and if the information they presented is not reliable people could be misled. Intellectual property deals with the intellect of the people who were involved in this study, the people asking and analyzing the questions and results as well as the scientific experts.
		+	* This article deals with the science and environment as well as the health sects of the Areas of Impact. This issue deals with the environment because it is negatively being affected by the unnaturally warm temperatures that are part of this climate change. This issue deals with health because the increasing amount of greenhouse gases that are causing the climate change reduces the quality of the air which can then become harmful for people on Earth to breathe.
		+	* To me, this is a very important issue because if nothing is done to try and slow or even completely stop the climate change, the entire human race could be wiped off the face of the Earth. Knowing how many lives are at risk and how much is at stake this is a very important issue in my opinion.

		+	* In the US, the hourly salary of the BMW autoworkers is $15. For the same work in Germany, BMW automakers get paid 24 euros or $33 an hour.
		+	* Yes I'm surprised. I figure that due to the cost of living in the US compared to other countries around the world, the pay here would be equal if not higher than in Germany. Jobs in the US are offshored to other countries due to this fact alone so the difference in pay is surprising to me.
		+	* Other companies and/or countries that may be interested in offshoring jobs to the US could be other car companies or countries that have an incredibly high cost of living. Although the cost of living is very high in the major cities and surrounding counties in the US, the cost of living is much lower in the more rural areas of the country. So any country that would look at the US in the way that we look at China or Thailand, cheap and efficient labor, could offshore over here.
